I'm in! I just bought my first bass, a 55-01! Haven't gotten any good pictures yet, but it's a 2011 limited quilted blue. Now, any advice on how to tell the wife?

First off, congratulations!

Second, it's kind of hard to hide the rumble of a Lakland low B - you're better off just telling her.

Third, while your at it, be sure to let her know this is will most likely just be the first of many to come.

Welcome to the addiction :D

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the passive plate of a DJ5/JO5? I know the Lakland pups wire up differently than most other brands. I've contacted Brian at Lakland for a diagram, but thought this would be a good place to ask.

And then Big D's wife was all like "why do you have 2 white basses that are exactly the same... you need to sell one."

And the response to that is..."think of it like shoes, honey. This white bass is like your Easter church kitten heel and that one is like those really hot pumps." But once you go down that road, never, ever, ever again ask her why she has fifteen pairs of black heels. It would end badly.

Don't actually "tell" her. Just take her to DSW and buy her a few new pairs of shoes. Then put the bass away while she's putting the shoes away. She'll be too busy with the shoes to notice the new bass.

All amazing basses, but what is more impressive to me is how clean you keep your hardwood floors. As a dog owner with dark hardwood floors they are the hardest thing to keep clean. :D

As Markus suggested when I remodeled. Bona microfiber and dusting pads along with vinegar and water to take the grime off. The floor, not the Laklands :D

Thanks for the tip/website. Been trying to find a new pair for mine since the Harley boots I got her developed bloom. I've cleaned them multiple times, but the chalky crap just keeps coming back - won't stay black :bawl:


BOT: Been thinking about putting a Pope Pre in the 4-94. Just curious if anyone has done this here and what their impressions were in comparison to the LH3.

I think she forgot there are two, since the Dunn has been at Dr. Carl's bass spa for awhile.

Can't wait to use that one and watch her expression move from anger to confusion then back to... rage
